07.02. - 30.03.2024: Literature Club 2024

In April of 2024, the graduate college made an invitation for the Literature Club: collective reading and exploration of literary texts, analysis of their function, and questions about the What and How of their core contents. All participants had the opportunity to learn and ask about examples of world literature - old and new, national and international - and try different approaches to the scientific work with literature at the university.
